Twenty-six children have been left in cars around the country since June 18.

Monday in Houston bystanders broke into a car to get children out from the backseat.

The most recent death was in El Paso, Texas where a two-year-old was found dead in a car after being left in her driveway overnight.

"Seventy five plus percent of fatalities from hot cars are two-year-old and under because little kiddos cant not regulate their temperatures like adults can, that system is not as developed. And for their size they increase their heat up to five times faster than an adults because of metabolism rates," said Dr. Zerrer.

A 22-month-old in Georgia died in the car after being left for seven hours while his father was at work.

He is now facing felony murder charges.

In response to that high profile death, parents around the country have taken to youtube.
